I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.

Then you support gun control. Background checks turn a God given right into a government granted privilege. No sale.

In the article Trump says background checks fail to work. He does not consider AR 15’s assault rifles and says gun control advocates try to classify popular weapons as assault weapons.

Dear Speaker:

I quote:

Donald Trump:

“I certainly stand by my opposition to Gun Control when it comes to taking guns from law-abiding citizens. You mention that the media describes the AR-15 as an “assault rifle,” which is one example of the many distortions they use to sell their agenda. However, the AR-15 does not fall under this category. Gun-banners are unfortunately preoccupied with the AR-15, magazine capacity, grips, and other aesthetics, precisely because of its popularity.”
“To the Left every gun is an assault weapon.”

“Gun control does not reduce crime. It has consistently failed to stop violence. Americans are entitled to protect their families, their property and themselves. In fact, in right-to-carry states the violent crime rate is 24% lower than the rest of the United States and the murder rate is 28% lower. This should not be up for debate.”
